Dabur Amla Diwali Festival returns to Newtown this year and its the first time that South Africans of Indian origin and the Indian Expatriate Community will come together to host the biggest iconic Diwali Festival in Newtown.
Some of the highlights of the Festival set to take place on 19 October 2013 at Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown are:

the Sari Idols as well as our Giant Rangoli painting (a decorative artwork on the square). Kids can look forward to stiltwalkers and balloon sculptors. - Join in on the fun in our Bollywood Flashmob sequence. Sample authentic Indian cuisine and sweets at our food stalls and browse through a colourful array of Indian garments, jewellery, handicrafts and finish off your look with henna painting. So its fun for the whole family!
